The Academy brings high quality Indian music education online for the first time through it’s cloud based platform that allows students from anywhere in the world to have an online, interactive class with a live teacher. At Shankar Mahadevan Academy, we provide courses that teach Hindustani & Carnatic Classical,, Hindi Movie Songs & Devotional Songs, Grow with Music – a unique course designed for children, Voice Gym and even a Teacher Certification Course. We want to make learning Indian music rewarding by making our lovely Indian tradition more modern, more fun and present our valuable traditions in music in a more contemporary way, yet keep a structured way of learning music and reach out to students all across the globe. Shankar Mahadevan, Bollywood’s most loved singer composer of India, quips,“ At Shankar Mahadevan Academy, our Vision is “To be the Harvard of Music worldwide” and our Mission is “Joy of Music”. A home away from home, MMS endeavours to connect Maharashtrians with one another while sharing the spirit of Maharashtra. MMS is a platform connecting the Maharashtrian diaspora in Singapore where denizens of the most dynamic state in India meet, socialize, exchange notes and celebrate occasions – including festivals – all under one roof. The Academy operates its online classes 24/7 and has conducted over 95000 virtual classes till date. This association will look at reaching out to Indians based out of Singapore and further enhance their music learning experience.In a short span of eight years, SMA has built a presence with students from 76 countries with nearly 20000 students across online, schools and corporates and affiliate centres. He says there's a lot more to look forward in the year with Game and Don 2 - The Chase Continues.Shankar Mahadevan Academy (SMA), a world renowned music school founded by singer and composer Shankar Mahadevan, today on World Music Day announced a partnership-with Maharashtra Mandal Singapore (MMS), to offer Indian music programs to students in Singapore. Meantime, the multiple National award-winning composer is riding high on the success of his latest songs "Laung da lashkara" and "Rola pai gaya" from Patiala House. In fact, I also want to do a brick and mortar academy, but that is Plan C for me," he said. We are hoping to get around 250 students for the first batch. But let's see the response to the US academy first. "Launching the online academy in India is Plan B for me. Mahadevan also hopes to launch such an online academy in India, but due to the comparatively poor bandwidth, he wants to wait for sometime. The first batch of classes will begin on March 3, which also happens to be Mahadevan's birthday. Starting April, the course fee will be $300. And then classes with a teacher are scheduled at a specific time so that you can virtually interact with her," he said.Įach course lasts 12 weeks, and costs $240 as an introductory offer. So we have also created a textbook OM (Online Music) Book, which can be accessible all the time. "We are replicating two aspects of any form of learning - when you go to a college, you have a textbook and you have a teacher standing in front of you. Apart from the theory lessons that have been planned after detailed discussions with maestros in the field, Mahadevan has roped in teachers to take live classes online. One can learn Hindustani as well as Carnatic music through it. But I wanted my academy to be structured so that people could go from being zero to hero in Indian classical music," he said. There's no structure, no syllabus, no certification, no exams - there's no method. "In India, usually when you learn music, the guruji comes home and teaches how to sing. Whereas, if you go to Berklee College of Music or Juilliard School just to learn trumpet for example, everything is structured. You cannot put it down in points anywhere. There was another factor about Indian music, which urged Mahdevan to set up the online music academy, available on "I always noticed that whenever it came to Indian classical music or even just Indian music, the teaching methods are very unstructured. The trained classical singer, popular for songs like "Breathless", "Mitwa", "Jhoom Barabar Jhoom" and "Desi girl", has tied up with Clood On, a provider of virtual learning software, to provide step-by-step training to students of all age groups living in the US. ![]()
